How to Install the Unit
Window Requirements
This unit is designed for installation in standard
double hung windows with actual opening
widths from 29" to 41".
The top and bottom window sashes must open
19" from the bottom of the upper sash to the
inside sill.
The height offset between the inside sill and
outside sill must be less than 1 ¼".
29" to 41"
19" min
NOTE
wood, masonry, or metal.
Preparation of Cabinet
1
Remove 4 screws which fasten the cabinet
at both sides and at the back. (Keep the
screws for later use.)
1
To prevent vibration and noise, make sure
the unit is installed securely and firmly.
4
Install the unit slightly tilted so the back is
slightly lower than the front (about 1/2").
This will force condensed water to flow to
the outside.
5
Install the unit with the bottom between
30" ~60" above the floor level.
2
Install the unit where the sunlight dose not
shine directly on the unit.
3
The outside of the cabinet must extend out-
ward for at least 12" and there should be no
obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20"
from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce
the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

Slide the unit from the cabinet by gripping
the base pan handle and pulling forward
while bracing the cabinet.
CAUTION
The unit is heavy. To prevent injury, use
proper lifting techniques when pulling unit
forward from cabinet. Obtain assistance
from another person if possible.
CAUTION
All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed to the outside of the structure.
3
Cut the window sash seals (Foam-PE)
to the proper length. Peel off the backing
and attach the adhesive-backed foam to
the underside of the window sash and the
bottom of the window frame.

and a lock nut. Use the rst track hole past
the sill bracket on the outer edge of the
window sill. Tighten the lock nuts on the
support brackets to secure them to the sill
brackets. Be sure the cabinet slants down
toward the outside.

the curtain panels to the window sashes
by driving type C screws into the sashes
through the cabinet holes shown in the
gure below.
7
With the aid of an assistant, slide the
unit into the cabinet. Reinstall the screws
removed from the cabinet sides in step 1.

The unit is heavy. Use an assistant to help
lift the unit and set it in place. Lifting and
maneuvering the unit by yourself could
result in injury.
